It' Finially Fall
The weather in LA can be...well...HOT. This weekend it was a nice turn that we've had 60 degree temps! Hurray for fall! Of course, it probably means that in a week it'll be 90 again! Oh well...I'll take what I can get;-)
On the school front...PTA has taken over...what was I thinking. I'm managing the website tulsapta.com along with all of my treasurer duties. Joey is VP so I'm also tackling some of his stuff (husbands?! HA) Our big first attempt at a Halloween carnival will be the 31st...I'm hoping the "fun" will kick into gear soon. November will be our month of rest...except for the taxes I have to complete for the good ol IRS...yes, taxes for a PTA!
Work has been great...and crazy busy. I'm almost done with all of my lead sheets for my upcoming album. It's been a learning process to say the least. Music Theory 101!!!! My guitar lessons with the awesome George Demme have literally turned into my Music Theory classes!!! It has been really fun to get back in touch with the musical side of myself. I am planning on starting to look for musicians and locking in studio time in the next two weeks. Hoping to start to record by mid-Nov at the latest. I have been running into and meeting some great contacts in the last few weeks which just makes me realize I am on the right path/track! YAY...
With me delving into my album work, I brushed some dust off a children's DVD/pilot I had put on my shelf a few years back. It's kinda like a blues clues set up with music in execution. I think it has really great potential and again, as soon as I dusted the dust off...contacts soon crossed my path to help along the way...AMAZING!!!! I'm looking to set up shooting for December-ish if everything moves along as planned.
Along the same lines as the children's DVD, I was asked to teach a class for Parents about kids & acting. Because I never let an opportunity pass me by I said "yes" and will be working out the syllabus starting this week. I'll update more on this when I have more info so I can get it out there for anyone who may be interested. I will be doing a seminar at Actor Fest for it on Nov 8th here in LA at 2pm if anyone wants to come out and hear. The seminar is free but I'm not sure if you pay to get in to the Fest or not... more to come on that.
Our loop group continues to build. (for those that don't know we merged with Grant and Jessica George late last fall) We are looping the series Easy Money for the CW network. It's a pretty good show if I do say so myself. We have stiff competition with Desperate Housewives competing at 9pm on Sundays...but hey, you can TIVO the housewives and watch EZ!!!!!! We are supposedly getting at least one more show for mid season and continue to loop films...mostly some really good Indy ones;-) It's always fun to work with the people we've been blessed to work with. I love it when we can be creative and do our stuff!!!! (improv and fun languages/voices) We also get to work individually (myself and/or Joey) with other loop groups which is great too!!!!
So, on top of all this Dylan has been going on auditions pretty much EVERY day!!!! Which is great for him, and he's been sooooo close to so many things. His last commercial was a cell south comm'l. He's surpassed us on how many auditions he gets!!!!! Pretty funny. As long as he's enjoying it, we're happy. If I become a stage parent...shoot me!!!!! they are creepy... (which is why I agreed to teach the class) One more note for Dylan....HE LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH last night...and the tooth fairy had her first visit to the Naber house...it was VERY exciting!
Cassidy gets cuter by the day. She is truly a crack up. She loves books (will "read" them to you), to talk on the phone, and to pose for the camera...just ask her to say cheese!!!!!! or Show you her teeth. How'd we get so lucky to have two ADORABLE kids? (I guess it's in their genes...HA)
that's it for now...Happy Fall Ya'll...
